Change is part of life.
August 2013 will forever be remembered as a time of change for us. We’re still finding our new normal as a “3” at home, instead of a “4.” The house is very different with 2 guys/1 gal, as opposed to 2 guys/2 gals. At times I feel a little outnumbered, but if Jo was home, we’d being talking a lot more about it. 🙂 Thanks for letting me talk about it here on Come Have a Peace. And I hope you enjoyed the vlogs! Some were more unedited than others …. ahem.
I know of some of my readers who have been walking through changes of their own, some by their choice and some not. Change can look very different, but so many of the principles from God’s word as the same for helping up to have a peace, HIS peace, in their midst of the upheaval. Here’s a look at where we’ve been, and if you missed one, this holiday weekend is a great time to catch up.

It’s been a good month. Not an easy month, but a good month. And I know God means it for my good and the good my family members and maybe you and yours, too.
Change can be hard, but change can be good!
Are you facing change in your life? Being stretched? I’d love for you to share in the comments or send me a private email. It would be my joy to pray for you, and that’s an offer that won’t change 😉
Good luck to your daughter (and your family.) 🙂
Change.
I need rules and structure and consistency in order to function and yet, when I get bored (which is often) or see a need for improvement I am quick to change things.
Now, the tough part is when the things that change are out of my control. It’s just hard. I think I mentioned that we began fostering at the beginning of the year and so much has changed. My husband and I have been more stressed. We have never dealt with children that have behavior problems, learning disabilities or ADHD. Our kids have never had to share rooms, toys or personal belongings, except for when they planned sleep overs or had cousins over who they have loved their whole lives! Our family has changed a lot these past few months. Some days are more difficult then others, but I believe in the end we will all be better for it as well. 🙂
